• Founded: 2016
• Managing Director: Mr. Krishna Rana

Pros

• The company experienced significant growth in its revenue from operations, rising from Rs. 89.14 cr in Fiscal 2021 to Rs. 234.06 cr in Fiscal 2023, showcasing a commendable Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 62.04% over the three fiscal years. Similarly, its Profit After Tax (PAT) saw a substantial increase, climbing from Rs. 4.82 cr in Fiscal 2021 to Rs. 36.2 cr in Fiscal 2023, reflecting an impressive CAGR of 174.04% during the same period.
• Situated in Palghar, Maharashtra, the company boasts a dedicated in-house Research and Development (R&D) facility covering 3,351.82 sq. ft. This facility houses an analytical laboratory and an application laboratory, focusing on product quality validation and the innovation of new compounds and grades.
• Initially concentrating on PVC stabilizers and serving the PVC pipes industry, particularly in irrigation and water transport, the company has diversified its product portfolio. Presently, it encompasses pipes and fittings, rigid and semi-rigid films, window profiles, wires and cables, and extends to various applications, including medical and consumer goods.

Cons

• The company operates exclusively from a manufacturing facility located in Palghar, Maharashtra. Any localized social unrest, natural disaster, service breakdown, or production disruption at this unit could have a significant impact on the company’s business and financial condition.
• The company’s dependence on a limited number of customers for a substantial portion of its revenues poses a risk, especially due to the absence of long-term arrangements with customers. Failure to maintain existing agreements may have a negative impact on business and operational results. In FY 2021, the top 10 customers collectively contributed 87.71% of total sales, followed by 83.41% in FY 22 and 86.49% in FY 23.
• With no long-term agreements with raw material suppliers, the company faces a risk of not securing required raw materials timely and at reasonable costs, potentially adversely affecting its business, operational results, financial condition, and cash flows.
• Experiencing negative cash flow from operations in FY 22 amounting to Rs. 14.89 cr raises concerns, as any future negative cash flows could adversely affect results of operations and financial condition.
• The company carries contingent liabilities, the realization of which may adversely affect its business, financial condition, cash flows, and results of operations.
• Involvement of the company, its Promoter, and its Directors in certain legal proceedings poses a potential risk. Adverse outcomes in these proceedings could negatively impact the company’s reputation, business, financial condition, operational results, and cash flows.
• Furthermore, the company has outstanding unsecured loans that are subject to potential recall by lenders at any time. As of September 30, 2023, outstanding unsecured loans were Rs. 9.96 cr, compared to Rs. 12.53 cr, Rs. 16.25 cr, and Rs. 2.43 cr for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023, March 31, 2022, and March 31, 2021, respectively.
